Corrosion resistance and appearance characteristics
The main difference between weathering steel and ordinary steel is their corrosion resistance and appearance characteristics. Weathering steel is a low-alloy steel with excellent atmospheric corrosion resistance and the ability to remain stable for a long time in harsh environments. This steel prevents further rust by forming a dense rust layer on the surface, so it has a rough appearance and texture. In contrast, ordinary steel is prone to rust when exposed to harsh environments, and the rust spots are large and thin, and the rust water will continue to flow, eventually leading to corrosion cracking.
Weathering steel has a wide range of applications and is often used in sculptures, architecture and other fields. It can reflect the design concept of cultural differences and harmonious coexistence. Because it does not require spraying, meets environmental protection requirements, and is 6-8 times more durable than ordinary steel, it has been widely used in many fields.
